§ 29416 County Child Support Funding

• •Every county must show in its budget how much money it's giving to the local child support agency.
• •This money can be used for both big expenses (like buildings or equipment) and day-to-day costs (like salaries or office supplies).
• •The county can't hide or use this money for anything else—it's only for child and spousal support enforcement.

A county plans its yearly budget and includes $500,000 for the child support agency.

This money must be clearly listed in the budget and can only be spent on things like hiring staff to track down parents who aren’t paying child support or buying computers to manage cases. The county can’t use this money for something else, like fixing roads.
